Islamophobia? What's in a Word?
I always though this word, islamophobia, was just another of those terms like 'gender affirming care' , which is neither 'affirming' or 'care' as most people understand these words to mean, and which grossly misrepresent what is under discussion, in this example, genital mutilation.
As for 'islamophobia', what does that word mean? An irrational fear of Islam?
Safe here in Canada for the present at least, most folks do not 'hate' or even 'fear' Islam, but many have reservations about what they hear and see, as some also have concerns about Catholics, Evangelicals, Jehovah's Witnesses -- and atheists. Taken literally, they worry about what these beliefs carried to extremes might lead to.
As for irrational fear, what is irrational about being concerned that some Moslems take the most threatening and outdated passages in their holy book literally and that some actively use Islam to justify atrocities or that civic authorities often accommodate and protect Islam when at the same time refusing the same protections to other persuasions,
Who, even those of us with concerns about Sharia Law and excessive concessions to Islamic dictates, has the time to 'hate' Islam or our Moslem neighbours?
What would be a better, albeit less catchy term?
Islamowatcher?

Canada Has Gone Woke and It's About to Go Broke...
Not just Climate Alarmism and Gender Nonsense anymore.In a nation once defined by hard work, innovation, and shared prosperity, Canada is sleepwalking into fiscal and social ruin under the banner of performative “reconciliation.” We’ve seen the warning signs globally: companies like Bud Light hemorrhaging $1.4 billion in sales after its ill-fated Dylan Mulvaney campaign alienated core customers; Jaguar’s cringeworthy 2024 rebrand pushing electric cars and “inclusivity” that bombed so hard it was scrapped amid plummeting stock; Harley-Davidson retreating from DEI mandates after backlash from riders who just wanted motorcycles, not lectures. These weren’t isolated fumbles, they were self-inflicted wounds from chasing social justice optics at the expense of reality. Now, Canada is the latest casualty, with “woke” poli...
